Why is this article even published? It gives no useful information and they admit the public is NOT at risk. They should have waited until there were more facts to publish — tomorrow! Publishing prematurely is ridiculous!

You have no facts in this. Thank you for the notification however yet again you give credence to the lack of value to the local news. I have never lived in a city where the news is so “cherry topped”….pathetic.

I would not care it these girls were yellow, pink or blue, rich or poor. I care more about what they did and why. And what actions were taken against them and or their parents. Not every child would think to do such a thing. In my opinion give them consequence for their action, community service work about 30 hours each. If nothing else they owe the community that much.

I’m not surprised at all that it was a concocted story! From the first I read it I was suspicious that they had been up to no good and then fabricated a story thinking it would keep them out of trouble. I agree with mother that they should get community service for false reporting.

Yes, yes, yes, charge those who falsely report crimes!!! ________________________________________________________________________________
